Continuing the Smart Traveller topic, they have recently added Shangri-La as a new transfer partner, with a conversion rate of 1,300 Smart Traveller points to 200 Shangri-La Circle points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shangri-La points have a fixed value of 300 points = US$20, which means this transfer route effectively gives each 1.2 cents per Smart Traveller point. That’s probably a little better than redeeming Smart Traveller points for gift cards or merchandise, and the lounge access awards are not very useful for most of us.<\/p>\n\n\n

There’s also a launch promotion: until 31 October, transfer at least 6,500 Smart Traveller points (equivalent to 1,000 Shangri-La points) and you’ll receive two Shangri-La room upgrade vouchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shangri-La upgrade vouchers are genuinely useful, but the problem is the rather high threshold this time. If you’re earning Smart Traveller points purely through complimentary lounge access, you’d need to visit 65 times just to accumulate enough points!<\/p>\n\n\n
